This quote actually distills the "delusional" nature of his inner self image. It is like "Laws are for the little people".

He imagines himself as a Hollywood character like Martin Sheen in the West Wing, "I know they'll probably try to impeach me for this, but its the right thing to do and by God, I didn't get elected to be timid in the face of a little game of political chicken with congress".

The balance of powers is like a cobweb covered annoyance that needs to be cast aside occasionally when deep down in our gut we know we are right.

Well, I guess when you have no experience as an executive, no experience in Washington, you never really held a real job, you spent most of your life around a bunch of like minded chattering naval gazers who "Imagine" what the solutions to the worlds problems might be, but never actually have to live with any of the consequences...then I guess "gut feelings" are about the best you can do.

In a very short period of time he was thrust from state assembly, which is a click above city council and went straight to Washington. His brief stint in the US legislature was really just an extension of his Presidential campaign driven by the MSM, so even that can't be seen as experience solving problems, he was playing a role that was handed to him.

This guy is, as they said, an empty suit fighting to prove that all the hare brained whims he always swore he'd put in place if he ever made it big time can fill that empty suit. They can't. He is learning for the very first time what its like to have dumb ideas "hit back". Every Republican and Democrat President in the modern era, had to experience that in the real world in their 20s or 30s.

He can't take the time to imagine what all those guys, whose faces are on those dollar bills might do. He is too busy and too important to study other leaders. It might distract him or ....depress him.

Ironically, Bowe Bergdahl's fellow soldiers are beginning to paint a similar picture of Bergdahl. He was frustrated in his squad and in the military. He began venting hatred for his country and his uniform. He fantacized about throwing his weapon and his flag aside and seeking out the enemy to embrace him and make peace. A cup of tea in no man's land, a chorus of kumbaya maybe. High minded ideas... His squad mates heard days later from one of their interpreters that an American had been wandering around asking for a local who could speak English that could help him find the Taliban.

Bergdahl either wanted to assist the Taliban to fight against his own squad or he was following his fathers last words of advice to "follow your heart" and he took the hippie's leap in to the hands of murderers. They then turned his Lefty naivete in to a weapon to use against his own people. I have no doubt he willingly played a role as a propaganda tool for the Taliban against the US government and Obama was just as much a naive accomplice as Bergdahl was to parade him before the cameras as a hero.

Nixon bombing the Vietnamese to the peace table to win back our POWs sounds so much more noble now than it ever has before.

Was Hillary Rodham Clinton in on this fiasco? This looks like the same mindlessness as Hillary and Barack's Libyan train wreck, the needless Benghazi fiasco, the foolish embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood, etc., etc. Few remember the Clinton Administration in the 90's provided the same weak placation of the most dangerous threats in the world, including the ad hoc bribery fail of the monstrous North Korean Dictatorship.

This is the Democratic Party on display, a fool's paradise wreaking endless havoc on all, same modus operandi as the Carter catastrophe. One cannot forget the Democratic Party believed one should embrace the oppressive Soviet Union.

One has to wonder if the trip of Jay Z and Beyonce (BO's celebrity devotees) to Cuba after Obama's reelection was a planned test to placate the ugly Cuban regime. Watch out - more to come from Barack soon, with endless damage to the USA and it's Allies. The Democratic Party strikes again. One has to rebuke this mess by challenging Reid's control of the Senate in 2014.

It is all well and good for congress-critters to complain about a lawless president on Twitter, but if they really want to get our attention (and applause) file articles of impeachment. Go with anything short of filing for impeachment and I'll just conclude you are too cowardly to impeach out of fear that impeaching "first black" . . . . will get them called racist. Wrong. Treating him different due to race is racist. So failing to impeach is racist.

Call it cowardly if you want, but impeachment would create another martyr a la JFK. If you want to cement the left in power for the next 20 years, by all means, impeach. The House will vote yes on a party line vote and the Senate will refuse to convict on a party line vote. What will have been accomplished? Not one damn thing except to make Democrats the majority for the foreseeable future.

"Those on the left believe their own bullsh!t. They think the center and right are mouth-breathing retards in American flag jean shorts who reflexively start singing "I'm Proud to be an American" whenever they see something vaguely military-ish.

The “progressives” are honestly confused at the center/right outrage at this swap and think it's just that those mouth-breathing 'Muricans are only repressing their natural flag-waving retard response because their racism and hatred of all things black has overridden their natural bitter-clinger hyper-patriotism.

They have it wrong, of course, because actually believe their factually incorrect caricature of us and so can't predict our actual reactions.

Oh they absolutely believe it...they play, live, and work in deep blue bubbles, never actually knowing a single moderate or conservative or libertarian except those they see on TV….…and those are always the Hollywood, Colbert, SNL, 30 Rock variety, mindless uneducated evil hicks who hate everybody, and are racists, sexists, etc.

They build two entire industries – education and entertainment - to project their false assumptions about the center/right... then are gobsmacked to discover we don't think or act according to their score card predictions. When we think deserting is an abominable crime, or that Obama has to answer for the failures of his policies, regardless of race.

We are, according to the Narrative™, simplistic morons.

In the end, the simpletons were in the White House, not on the street."

"I know they'll probably try to impeach me for this, but its the right thing to do and by God, I didn't get elected to be timid in the face of a little game of political chicken with congress".

I get your point but I think you are giving Obama way too much credit. I don't think "doing the right thing" is even on Obama's radar. I think that Obama is one giant egotistical SOB and that it never occurred to him that trading five terrorists for a deserter would cause the sh*t storm that it has. I think he believed that he would be hailed as a hero for his 'bold' decision making. In other words, I think he is totally delusional.

Hold on, there Porky300. I'm not so sure that the military didn't set Obama up for this. That may have been the reason for all those nondisclosure statements: to keep the 'skinny' on Bergdahl from getting back to the administration. Once Obama took the bait and secured Bergdahl's release, the brass knew the troops wouldn't/couldn't keep quiet. Maybe this was a 'shot across the bow'.

The VA scandal has loomed large recently, as has the ACA debacle. Career officers take their health benefits quite seriously. With the VA collapsing on one hand and the ACA briar patch growing worse by the day, a serious act of retribution from the officer corps would not be surprising.
